Even though Lionel Messi never had any problems with another player off the field, the 2022 Ballon d’Or results appeared to change thar. Robert Lewandowski lost to the Argentine star and didn’t seem to take itwell.

Messi congratulated the Pole striker during the gala, saying Lewandowski deserved to have won the award by then. Surprisingly, the former Bayern star made headlines by saying he hoped Messi’s comments were honest and not just “empty words.”

It’s all water under the bridge now, Lewy later tried to set the record straight and has shownnothing but respect for Messi since then. In fact, he would welcome the PSG star with open arms at Barcelona.

Messi’s possible returnto Barcelona is definitely one of the biggest storylines heading into the end of the season, as his future with Paris Saint-Germain looks up in the air. Messi’s deal is up in the summer, so he controls his own destiny.

Barcelona would have to make a financial effort to add Messi to their wage bill, but it’s safe to say it would be worth it. With Messi and Lewandowski together, they’d have a powerful duo.
